This 2012 is dark and rich with fresh boysenberry and raspberry jam on the nose. The palate features tart red plum with hints of black peppercorn, hibiscus tea, straw and candied raspberries. This is a great expression of a Sta. Rita Hills Pinot Noir. The finish is luscious and leaves one craving more.2012 is a perfect wine for pairing with pepper rubbed leg of lamb and fresh beet salad with goat cheese. Or this is the perfect accompaniment for pulled pork sliders or chicken coq au vin.
